issue with glib2 @2.14.4_1 and/or glib-genmarshal - so, can not build/install dbus-glib, Gimp2, wv etc.

[grahamperrin@…]

Abstracted from ​dbus-glib is not building (0% CPU no error messages) when building Gimp2

This issue may additionally prevent installation of other dependants such as wv.

At comment 33 in ticket 13448, jzenker observed:

The problem comes from glib2 @2.14.4_1.
glib-genmarshal, which hangs at the same time, is from the glib2 port.

jzenker's workaround:

deactivated glib2 @2.14.4_1 and reactivated my old glib2 @2.14.2_0, and dbus-glib built successfully.

but, that's not an option for users who lack glib2 @2.14.2_0

Also dependent upon this issue: ​AROfficeTransforms (product for Plone) installed without error but MissingBinary: Unable to find binary "wvHtml" - so Word .doc files can not be added

Thanks for your attention.

Best regards
Graham Perrin

I suppose I'll have to read through those other threads then to discover what's amiss with glib-genmarshal.

Hopefully you need not read the other ticket in its entirety. Focus on ​http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/13448#comment:33 comment 33 alone.

I removed MacPorts, re-installed MacPorts, tried again to install wv.

Again, the routine (related CPU activity) stopped at the dbus-glib point.

I interrupted the MacPorts installation,
installed ​gettext from source (not from MacPorts),
installed ​glib from source (not from MacPorts).

After that, MacPorts installation of wv was successful.

There remains the puzzle of glib (affecting installation of dbus-glib etc.) in MacPorts.

I cannot reproduce this problem on my MacBookPro3,1 with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Xcode 2.4.1, and I don't know what to do about it, so I ​filed a bug with the developers of glib.

[grahamperrin@…]

Thanks for filing the bug.

I haven't tried reproducing on my own MacBook Pro but it does seem to be reproducible (consistenly?) on G4 PowerPC.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

In the notes of ​the bug I filed with the glib developers, someone said that glib 2.14.5 no longer has this problem, due to the fix for ​this bug, so I updated the port in r32728. Please wait 12 hours, then "sudo port selfupdate", then "sudo port upgrade glib2". Please let me know whether or not this fixes the dbus-glib / glib-genmarshal hang.

[grahamperrin@…]

​dbus-glib installed successfully on Intel MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.4.11.

[grahamperrin@…]

​dbus-glib installed successfully on PowerPC Power Mac G4 running Mac OS X Server 10.4.11.

Not tested by me:

• sudo port install dbus-glib on Mac OS X 10.5 on PowerPC
• sudo port install dbus-glib on Mac OS X 10.5 on Intel.

Many thanks to ryandesign for progressing this!

Looks like this was fixed long ago. Please re-open if not.
